"LOCK! HER! UP! LOCK! HER! UP!" Seriously, I am soooooo over the Trump supporters' fetish for women and minorities in cages. But, let's say that it does come down in 2020 to him and Trump. What do I do? Do I stay home? I did that last election. So did a lot of other people. That's one reason why we're in the mess that we're in. Do I vote third party? I think that's another reason why Trump sits in the Oval Office today. Too many Susan Sarandons felt Hillary would be just as bad as Trump, if not worse, and still do. Plus, if I'm being perfect and frank, I think voting third party is essentially throwing away your vote. I hear what you're saying about Bloomberg, and I totally agree. But I know I wouldn't want another four years of Trump either. So, again, what do I do?

IKR? The man is out of office, people! Stop blaming him for [!@#$%^&*] and leave him and his family the hell alone! There are times when I wish we never have another non-Caucasian president. Because, honestly, what brutha (or sistah) should subject themselves to such abuse? You have to really, REALLY love this country to want to run after seeing how the Obamas continue to be treated. Not that I believe it'll happen, too, but I'd really love to see Wheeler given the Scott Pruitt treatment for liking that photo. Everything else that goes on at Trump House becomes a front-page scandal, why shouldn't this be one, too? That jackass.

IA. I hate to say it, too, but I actually think someone who, in the past, might have been labelled as "too establishment" or too much of a Washington insider will end up looking ideal after Trump. ("Back to Basics"? "Business as usual"? Sounds good to me!) So, yeah, Joe Lieberman, come on down, lol. The truth is, if we try for another Obama on the heels of Trump, this nation will be divided more than ever, as impossible as that seems at the moment. We could very well end up having another civil war or another situation that results in the creation of two Americas. Yeah, I tend to agree there, too. For me, it's not looking good. Nevertheless, I'm voting Democrat no matter who ends up being the nominee, just because I don't believe I'll ever be able to trust the GOP again. It's going to take them at least a generation, and a ton of the "old guard" dying out, before some (reasonably more) sensible folks who won't cater to the most craven of us reclaim the party for the better.

I'm afraid so. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably never see another Obama, or even another Hillary Clinton, in my lifetime. We might dig ourselves out of the hole that Trump has put us in...someday...eventually. But I think we'll be too wrapped up in restoring civility and normalcy and stability, both to the WH and to this nation, to entertain another young, youthful, energetic contender with big ideas for a LONG time. IOW, it's going to be up to our kids to find the next Obama. We've just got too much mess to clean up to think about going down that road again.

I could see Rose joining the other fembots on "Outnumbered."

I hope so, too, Cat. I hope "regular" women and men are able to take the movement back from the celebs who tried to co-opt it. I don't deny the fact that sexual abuse runs rampant throughout the film and TV industries. However, the right and far-right is always so quick to dismiss anything that has anything at all to do with celebrities, and I'm worried their attempts to do the same w/ this movement will end with people turning against #MeToo for good.

Well, at least we're not talking about B**** K******** anymore!

No, he's not a #HimToo supporter. However, he is clearly a hipster. Ergo, he's still trash. (Sorry, folks, I just call 'em as I see 'em.)

They threw a coat hanger at him? Oh, I get it: they were just engaging in a little "Mommie Dearest" role-play.

The same people who remain convinced that the Earth is flat, that Jesus was white, and that Obama is a Muslim who was born in Kenya.

It's like a bad episode of "McHale's Navy." (What am I saying? ALL episodes of "McHale's Navy" were bad.)

I think so. I've seen it time and time again: SCOTUS is not there to make the laws, or to legislate opinions. SCOTUS is there strictly to determine the constitutionality of the cases brought before them. Ugh. Right now, Mama Khan is in another room, listening to Kav's big speech on the WH lawn. Isn't it appropriate how the Senate forced him on us like he forced himself on those women (allegedly)? Of course, the difference between Kav and the U.S. Senate, is that the U.S. Senate actually finished the job.

I can't believe it either.

Lemme guess: you're not an "Andy Griffith Show" fan.

Democrats don't want to be known strictly as "the anti-Trump party." But, I say, ride that pony for all it's worth, lol. If it's good enough for me, then it's gotta be good enough for a lot of others, too.

Don't you think you're being unfair to Nosferatu?

Well, I wouldn't want to wish harm on anybody about anything...but she had it coming. So, in the end, what did it profit Joe Manchin to vote "yes" for Kavanaugh? Seriously, I need to know this. Because, from where I'm sitting, it looks as if he's gained nothing.

After checking with my state's election board's online voter tool, I can say with 100% certainty that I am a registered voter. (But if you people even THINK about asking me to post pictures or something, I will vote Republican to spite y'all, I swear I will!)

What's wrong with Yahoo!? Manchin was a coward. Plain and simple. He voted for Kavanaugh, not because he believed him to be innocent -- sorry, but I don't believe his justification for his "yes" vote -- but because he needed the votes for re-election. Who knows? He might have saved his job by voting the way that he did, too. But, it's kind of like what Blanche told Gil Kessler in "The Golden Girls," when he lied and said they had spent the night together, just to boost his campaign. Yes, you won, Joe, but what kind of man are you, if you didn't win honestly? Even if it means losing a Senate seat and yielding further advantage to the GOP, I'd rather see a man lose while fighting the good fight -- in this case, potentially alienating his own voting base by saying, no, this man should not serve on our highest court -- than win by compromising his integrity.

IA. Making Asia and Rose the faces of #MeToo was problematic for me. Not that Alyssa is squeaky clean. For the most part, though, her "legacy" as TV's Samantha Micelli makes for an image that goes down more smoothly for the general public.

True. OTOH, every movement needs a "face," someone who is in the public eye on a regular basis, or else the movement stalls. I'm not saying I agree with that line of thinking. I'm just offering why you end up with people like McGowan and Argento as the de facto leaders.

Like I said, she's no fool. Yep. The new album's about to drop, and it's gonna be wall-to-wall, old-school R&B slow jams. (Taylor's doing a Barry White cover, y'all. Get ready.)

Exactly. What happened to Katy Perry?

Hey, if Ye is fine with living back on the plantation, that's his affair. But I don't keep well in the sun, and my fingers are not made for picking cotton.

Oh, no. Taylor's not a Democrat. Not by a long shot, lol. And like I said before, I won't believe it until I see it. (To hell with the "you can't show your ballot online" laws. If we could force Obama to show his birth certificates (which he shouldn't have had to!) then we can force Tay-Tay to show her completed ballot on Election Day. And there better be video of her actually dropping that ballot into whatever receptacle those things go into, too!)
